This is the reality that cannot be ignored. These are not just statistics, these are lives lost, leaving behind grieving families and communities. Violence against women and girls is a national emergency and we need action now. Change starts with men.

These are only the cases that we know of according to police data, unfortunately, there are many more women living in fear in Sunderland. Domestic abuse affects us all and we can all make a difference. It’s time to take action to help create a community free from abuse.

Domestic abuse is very common, statistically we will all know someone who is affected. It can happen to anyone, including those you care about, but you can make a difference. By raising awareness and offering support you can help tackle domestic abuse in Sunderland.

[WWIN @Wearside_Win]

When a loved one appears to be pulling away, our instinct is often to act quickly. This can sometimes be with ultimatums, hoping to regain the contact that’s been lost. For many survivors this can unintentionally leave them feeling more isolated. Instead, open the door. #EndVAWG

[WWIN @Wearside_Win]

Only 15% of serious sexual assaults are reported to the police, leaving the vast majority of survivors without the support they deserve. This silence highlights the fear and stigma that many face. It’s time to change. Together, we can create a city where survivors feel safe.

[WWIN @Wearside_Win]

Violence against women and girls happens everywhere, often in silence. It affects women and girls of all walks of life and together we can make a change. By speaking up, offering support and raising awareness can help us create a safer community for women and girls. #16Days #VAWG

[WWIN @Wearside_Win]

Sexual violence is extremely common in the UK. This needs to stop. Each statistic represents a survivor’s story. It’s time to take action, support survivors, raise awareness and call out harmful behaviours. We can create a future where women are safe, respected and heard.

[WWIN @Wearside_Win]

Last year, almost 9,000 incidents of domestic abuse were recorded by police in Sunderland – unfortunately the true scale of domestic abuse in Sunderland will be much greater, due to the hidden nature of abuse.

Starting a new relationship can be an exciting time, however, things may not always be as they seem. Domestic abuse is more common than you think, and it’s important to recognise the red flags for abuse and control.

This isn’t just a statistic – it’s a reality that too many women face, leaving them feeling fearful, isolated and unsafe in their own community. It’s time to take action, and change starts with men. Every woman deserves to feel safe in public.

This behavior is not something girls should ever have to ‘put up with’ – it’s harmful and needs to be addressed. These daily experiences create an environment where girls feel unsafe. Let’s call it out and support girls to feel safe and respected.

Domestic abuse is a lot more common than people think. It can happen to anyone, and affects all of us. Domestic abuse thrives on isolation, the signs may not always be obvious, but we all have a responsibility to respond.

The workplace, for many, is a place to meet new people and learn new skills. However, for some people it’s also a safe place where they can escape abuse.
Look out for the red flags. If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
